Hi all,
I'm a new member here and this is my first post. :)
I'm considering to buy an iMac sometimes soon, but I think their'll be some
windows programs I will need to run.
I've read about different virtual machine applications, VMWare Fusion,
Paralells and VirtualBox.
Just wondering if someone
Hi Nicholas, welcome to the list, and your English was fine. Unfortunately,
VMWare Fusion is the only accessible app out there that can run Windows
virtually. Parallels is totally inaccessible and the only way to have virtual
box accessible is if you run it through Terminal if you're comfortable
Most accessible virtual machine application is VMWare Fusion.
I am pasting below the address of the archive page of all the messages from
this list. If you search for VMWare fusion or fusion, you will find many
threads there discussing running windows in VMWare Fusion with VoiceOver. Just

Hi,
fusion is your best bet.
I know some have played around with virtual box and gotten it to work, but I
get the impression if you’re not a real tecchie, you’ll have problems.
I personally use fusion for the odd time I need or want windows for anything.

No such problem here with my 6S Plus. When I really want an immersion into

Hi. My theory is, since Apple made a 3-D touch gesture to be able to switch to
your most recently used app, and they could not get that to work with voiceover
active, They implemented the four finger swipe.

Hi:
I’m thinking about getting an Apple watch. Do you guys like the 38 or 42 MM
versions best? What about sport vs stainless steel?

Actually Daniel, I thought the gesture they initially couldn’t get to work was
the 3D touch press on the left side of the phone screen to get the app switcher
to come up. that now works and I use it most of the time to close out apps so I

I've used both, and my sister now has the 38mm I tried first. It seems that the
38mm is a better size for many women, while the 42mm offers more screen and
9some say) better battery life but is too large. The 42mm looks fine on many
men, I'm told. I don't know about sport versus stainless steel,
Hi Sarai,
I got the 38 because I preferred the smaller size. And I got the sport model
because it is significantly cheaper, and I figured I'll want to upgrade when
the next gen comes out, so thought it made sense to spend less on the first
generation.
Cheers,

I have the 38mm stainless steel silver and I love it. Initially it may feel
large and clunky but after about a week of wearing it 10 hours or so a day, it
now feels very natural.
It is not an excessively feminine design. It’s nice but if you wear a lot of
lacy things, it’s going to look a bit

The gesture using 3D touch to get to the app Switcher is to place 1 finger all
the way to the left side of the phone and press down. I do this usually right
above the dock. I have an Otterbox Defender case so I just put my fingertip
over to the left so it touches the side of the
Of course the four finger gesture is voice over command; you don't actually
believe that sighted people could master something so complicated?
For many of them coordinating two fingers is just about all they can handle.

The 38 is really not bad. The 42 is roomier, but you won't have problems on the
38. VO on watchOS uses two fingers at most, and even on the 38mm model, buttons
are large enough for me to locate. In short, yes, the 42 will have more space,
but the 38 is not uncomfortably smaller.

Hi Mary, it's not necessary to double-tap and hold to use 3D touch. When VO is

As I said I have the 42mm sport and yes it's cheaper but if you think about it,
what more does the stainless version have that the sport doesn't other than the
materials it's made from.
